From The Inside Photo Effect

This task we’ll learn how to change the picture’s color, work with the layers, make an original make-up, create the effect of objects’ perspectives and volume, imitate the glow-worms and blood drops and also how to work with the filters.

Take a girl’s photo, having a cosmetic mask on her face.

Mark out the mask along its contour with Polygonal Lasso Tool.

Cut it out, applying Edit ? Cut (ctrl+x) and place it on a new layer: Edit ? Paste (ctrl+v). Separate the same way the remaining face’s portions with the mask. Place this layer lower than the mask’s layer. Apply also Filter ? Blur ? Smart Blur.

Make the mask’s layer look darker, using the next command Image ? Adjustments ? Brightness/Contrast.

Add the shadow now the same way we did with the mask. Next step includes copying this layer several times and placing them on the book’s pages on different angles.

Merge now the copied layers: Layer ? Merge Down (ctrl+e) and change the new layer’s type on Luminosity. Minimize the Opacity till 40%.

On a new layer, above the background, insert a small part of the picture showing some blood drops.

Change the layer’s type on Multiply. Mark out a small part of the drops’ layer and copy it: Edit ? Copy (ctrl+c). Place it above the book. Turn them a little (Edit ? Free Transform) and change the layer’s type on Darken.

Place now the background’s layer copy above all the layers, using Layer ? Duplicate Layer. Apply to this layer the already known filter (Filter ? Filter Gallery ? Dry Brush).

Change the layer’s type on Multiply and minimize the opacity till 18 %. The last feature includes the glow- worms. To picture them, it’s necessary to choose the Ellipse Tool and draw several circles of yellow color and then inside the yellows – the white ones, but of smaller size.
